Note: Shift4 Errors
We can help with connecting your EFTPOS terminal to Bustle and checking your Bustle settings. However, if you see an error while setting up or using the terminal - including an EFTPOS error shown in Bustle - you'll need to contact your EFTPOS provider. They manage the terminal and are best placed to troubleshoot the error.
1. From the Bustle Hub (hub.heybustle.com) select your integration type
In the Hub, head to Setup > iPad Setup
Use the Eftpos Integration selector to select your provider - SmartConnect by Smartpay.
Head back to the iPad - In the Bustle iPad till app go to: Settings > Sync Menu.
After syncing is finished, fully close and restart the Bustle iPad till app. You'll see an "EFTPOS" option appear in your iPad settings.
2. Get your Shift4 terminal ready for Bustle
Follow the SmartConnect guide to get set up and locate your 8 Digit Pairing Code (Contact Shift4 if you get stuck here).
3. In the till connect your Shift4 terminal to Bustle
On your Bustle iPad till, go to Settings > EFTPOS > Connect.
Next, enter the details for your terminal. Replace any existing text in the field with your terminal's 8-digit pairing code. Then press Pair Terminal.
You're done!
